Lumines and Assassin's Creed Among Vita Games Coming From Ubisoft

Assassin's Creed

Ubisoft has been a strong supporter of the 3DS thus far, and it has a number of games still to come to it this year. It will likewise be bringing quite a few games to market for Vita, as today it officially announced six projects, the most noteworthy of which are new games in the Assassin's Creed and Lumines series.

"With its processing power, dual tactile screens and cameras, PS Vita allows creators like Ubisoft new and unique opportunities to develop innovative games," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. "We've got a strong and varied line-up that will offer fun and immersion to all audiences of the PS Vita."

The full slate of Ubisoft Vita games is comprised of Assassin's Creed, Rayman Origins, Lumines, Asphalt, Dungeon Hunter Alliance, and Michael Jackson The Experience.

An Assassin's Creed game, Lost Legacy, was planned for 3DS before being canceled. The series is still coming to Wii U along with the current offerings on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and iOS. This Vita game -- whatever it is -- adds yet another platform to the list of systems the franchise is available on.

Lumines, a puzzle game that was released on PSP at launch, was one of the early hits on the platform. It was developed by Q Entertainment, the company behind Rez and more recently Child of Eden. Since its debut in 2004 (2005 in North America), it's seen various ports, a PSP sequel, plus PSN and XBLA versions.

Like Assassin's Creed, details weren't forthcoming on exactly what the new Lumines is going to be. Dungeon Hunter Alliance and Asphalt, on the other hand, will be on the show floor at Gamescom so we'll be hearing more about those soon.
